Background Info:

Leading the team for the first time across all three formats in 2016, Wright was last year’s leading scorer in the Specsavers County Championship, amassing 1,210 runs and smashed his highest first-class score, an unbeaten 226 against Worcestershire at New Road. He once again spent the winter playing for the Melbourne Stars in Australia’s Big Bash, hitting a superb century in front of a crowd of 80,000 against the Renegades at the MCG. His form last season earned him the Sussex Player of the Year Award, averaging 51 and 45 in the NatWest T20 Blast and Royal London One-Day Cup respectively for the Sharks.
